What kind of outdoors town is Anthony?

Read from the map. The page puts what stands out first.

Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Anthony have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Anthony is behind most U.S. towns. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; conserved land comes closest.

D−
OutdoorsA character grade: shown, never part of Anthony’s overall grade.

Few Kansas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Anthony’s under 1% is ahead of 5% of Kansas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 3% of them.

Water is 5% of Anthony’s area (0 of 3 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Anthony. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and coverage varies from town to town, so a town with unmapped parks scores low on them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would still be D−. Trails and many small parks come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by volunteers, so coverage varies from town to town; the half mile is a straight line from each census block, so a river or highway in the way isn’t counted against it.

Questions about parks and trails in Anthony

How much of Anthony is conserved land?

under 1% of its land, against a typical 2% for a Kansas town and 4% nationally (PAD-US). Conserved doesn’t always mean open to visitors: easements are usually private land.

Is there public land near Anthony?

18 acres of parks and open public land lie inside Anthony or within 10 miles of it (PAD-US), almost none of it inside the city line.

How much outdoors does Anthony have?

Behind most U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade. The grade combines the share of land that is conserved, miles of mapped trail per square mile of land, park acres per 1,000 residents and the share of residents within a half mile of a park. It’s a character grade, so it isn’t part of the overall grade. How it works.
